Number one, the letter to the president of the United States from the attorney general of the United States is, 'Therefore, I must recommend you remove Director James Comey and identify an experienced and qualified individual to lead the great men and women of the FBI.' That's pretty unqualified.

It seems pretty clear cut here, but Sekulow maintains that Trump is not under investigation and he was merely responding to a Washington Post article.

Speaking to a bemused Jake Tapper on CNN, Sekulowsaid the president was responding to a Washington Post story from Wednesday which reported, citing five anonymous officials, that Special CounselRobert Mueller had expanded his Russian Federation investigation to examine whether Trump attempted to obstruct justice.

Things got particularly contentious between Sekulow and Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, who pointed out that Sekulow simply can not say whether the special counsel is investigating Trump.

Speculation surrounding a potential Mueller firing ramped up last week, after a friend of the president's said that Trump was "weighing" whether to terminate the special counsel.

He reached the front bunker in two shots at the 14th hole, a par 5, and got up and down for birdie to grab a two-shot lead. Below Harman on 12 under, three players are exhausted on 11 under - Thomas, Brooks Koepka and England's Tommy Fleetwood.

"Let me be clear here".

And it kept going on and on like this until finally Wallace figuratively threw his hands in the air, responding to Sekulow saying there's no investigation after saying he didn't know if there was one.

Earlier this month, Rosenstein told The Associated Press that "if anything that I did winds up being relevant to his investigation then, as Director Mueller and I discussed, if there's a need from me to recuse, I will".

Sekulow also appeared on "Face the Nation" where he continued to use the argument that Trump is not under investigation because they hadn't received any notice that he was.

To say that Painter is biased against President Trump would be an understatement.

Trump adviser Newt Gingrich said on ABC's "This Week" that the tweet Friday "didn't help him".

They said Sekulow's denials were not so much a legal argument as an effort to fix the political damage from the apparent admission by Trump. The President's response was as it related to the Washington Post report.

Mr. Schiff said the investigation is "just getting started". The result was that Rosenstein, a career prosecutor with no affiliation to Trump, unilaterally chose to appoint a special counsel and hired Mueller. But America's laws today are a web in which even the most innocuous citizen can get tangled-a citizen who has business dealings with figures as corrupt as many Russian businessmen and officials tend to be is nearly certainly open to prosecution on one technicality or another, as is anyone who talks to federal investigators and tells even the smallest of lies. This same point comes up again around the eight minute mark in the interview when Sekulow again claims there is no investigation. He said the closed off process was not particularly out of the ordinary and that any bill should be eventually subject to open debate and change. "And I think it's in everybody's best interest if we let him do his job, and we do ours".

"Okay, well good, we're in agreement", Wallace said.

The order from the general counsel for the transition team casts a wide net on documents that could shed light on ties between Trump's presidential campaign and representatives of Russia's government. He said Trump had learned the effectiveness of social media as a communications tool during the campaign.
